LA Rams Day 6 NFL Scouting Combine – OT Adams stock falling
By Bret Stuter
OT Winners
First, let’s congratulate some of the winners of Day 6 of the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine. Right off the bat, Louisville offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, standing 6-foot-7 and weighing 364 pounds, literally stole the show. His body weight checked in at just 17 percent body fat. And for the entire day, he proved he was faster, more agile, stronger, and fitter than anyone dared to imagine.
He was already projected to go in round one, but today could push him comfortable into a top ten selection.
Another top offensive tackle prospect who put on an outstanding performance was Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs. He is a very athletic 6-foot-5 and 320-pound offensive tackle who was already projected as a Top-20 prospect. He likely improved his stock to a top-10 after today’s performance.
While the Rams would love to have either available in the 2020 NFL Draft at 52, realistically both players will be long off the board before the Rams step up to the podium.
Other notable performance notables on day six of the NFL Scouting combine include USC’s offensive tackle Austin Jackson, a 6-foot-5 322-pound offensive tackle who displayed great athleticism in his performance which should be enough to elevate him into a round one prospect. Boise State offensive tackle Ezra Cleveland skyrocketed out of his day three projection. The 6-foot-6 310-pound smaller school offensive tackle showed off with a strong showing in – strength. His 30 reps positioned him as number five for offensive linemen. Then he showed off his speed, burst, and versatility to land as a newly projected round 1-2 projection.
